Batteries included!
This repository is a growing collection of Lua libraries I've developed over the years while building with Luvit. These libraries have remained internal to the Numelon ecosystem for a long time - but I'm now beginning to open-source the more foundational and reusable ones.
It's hard to overstate how powerful and enjoyable Luvit has been in my development journey. Since around 2020/2021, it has served as the backbone of nearly all Numelon software. After about a year of using it, we committed fully and gradually rewrote everything around Luvit. It now powers high-complexity, production-critical platforms such as Rubiš (a full-featured pasting service, CDN, and more), and the Numelon Stock Exchange, which involves high-throughput, real-time infrastructure - along with various internal services, bots, and image pipelines.
While Luvit itself is tremendous, its ecosystem lacks well-maintained libraries on Lit. Yes, you can use LuaRocks libraries and pure Lua libraries (as expected), but ideally Luvit's Lit should be just amazing.
These libraries are available as standalone Luvit-compatible packages via Lit:
| Package | Description | Install Command | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
Richy-Z/base32 |
RFC 4648-compliant Base32 implementation in pure Lua | lit install Richy-Z/base32 |
Here |
Richy-Z/clock |
Precise UNIX time util with ISO 8601 support, millisecond precision, and UTC-safe parsing | lit install Richy-Z/clock |
Here |
Richy-Z/string-extensions |
Small extensions to Lua's default string library | lit install Richy-Z/string-extensions |
Here |
Richy-Z/logger |
A lightweight per-instance logging utility | lit install Richy-Z/logger |
Here |
More libraries from both the Numelon stack and my personal projects will be released over time.
